[Clean Dean]

As a former freestyle wrestler who also dabbled a little in Greco Roman wrestling, I see this as a very good matchup. Both are excellent on their feet as far as takedowns and takedown defense, and neither of them has exhibited one punch KO power like A. Silva, W. Silva or a Chuck Liddell. Size and speed goes to Lesner, and experience and the stategic ability obviously goes to Couture. I would have a hard time laying money on this one, and although Couture has that true championship ability to rise to the occasion I have never seen him in the octagon with an equally experienced wrestler like Lesnar. Neither of these guys are submission specialist, and I have a hard time understanding why most great wrestlers who try their hand at MMA never seem to know how to deliver a rear naked choke or armbar. I do not see a submission happening, but if Lesnar takes Couture to the ground he could be in for a long night of hammer fists.

I would not miss this one for anything, and should be the UFC's biggest all time draw. Its good to see Dana's not spoon feeding Lesnar like Kimbo. I cannot wait to see Kimbo fight a fighter who is not a stepping stone or a fighter like Shamrock who is about 15 years past his prime.
